dorsey met the committee for con
ference ut the Arlington private
parlors at 3 o'clock this evening.
Governor Ihsyer presided. The
members of the congressional delegation
being called upon TO report the reaults
of their work, responded briefly. Senator
Paddock noted o strong disposition gem
orally throughout the cast to afford
Omaha something more than q fighting
chance for Il CONVENTION. He had inter-
viewed a large number OF prominent poll
ticians and republicans and believed that
between the eontestinR rivals Omaha's
chances were not uncomfortable. Senator
Henderson, congressman Laird, Dor.
eey and McShans and Church Howe
also gave the results OF their work. .Ex-
Congressman Sapp, of Iowa, expressed
the opinion that the Iowa delegation IN
congress would favor Omaha. An in
teresting change of opinions then fol-
lowed as to the best methods Of work
to be followed during the next few days.

ELECTED considerable discussion. Con-

SPECIAL NOTICE.

It is highly Important that the friends
and supporters Of General Nichols should
keep themselves thoroughly informed in
regard to the progress of the canvass now
going on in this State. The most eminent
leaders of the Louisiana Democracy are in
the field. Nichols clubs are being0rgan-
lied III every parish, public meetings of
great interest are almost of daily occur
renee, and the discussion of the various
issues involved is marked by unusual
ealnestness and ability. The Picayune has
furnished its readers with an accufate and
comprehensive account of this movement
from its inception. ana will continue TO do
SO to the close of the struggle, in order
that the public MAJ understand the situa-
ton perfectly, and that General Nichols
and Els friends may be fully and fairly re-
ported. Many of the weekly papers are
doing noble work i'll the good cause. and
we ourselves have been much indebted to
them for their contributions to the gener-
al discussion; but only a daily paper has
the opportunity and the facilities reGui-
site to an immediate and complete report
OF the whole anvass with all its details
and in all its varying phases. For these
reasons. we deem it proper to commend
the Daily Picayune to the favorable con-
sideration of all who are interested in the
effort now being made to secure our party
and the State from the evils of ring rule
and personal government.

OurSidawaILs.

For a town Of its size, wealth and
number Of inhabitants, .Abbeville is
worse off in the matter OF sidewalks
than any other place in the State.
In most towns where the spirit of
progress is at all active. one of the
first cares of its municipal authori.
ties and citizens generally, is to pro-
vide firm and ever sidewalks of a
material that will not turn to mud
and slush in winter, or become clouds
OF dust in the summer; being in most
cases formed of wood, brick or stone
tagging, more especially in the prin-
cipal business streets. But here there
appears no sort Of united action on
this matter. Here and there we find
property-holders more philosophical
than others, that keep their side
walks i'll repair, but as a general
rule this matter is left severely alone,
and the sidewalk left like Moore
left Morals beauties, "to sink or
swell as heaven ~pleases." Now we
would respectfully submit that this
is economy that is more costly than
the greatest possible extravaganza
IN making a pathway over which
pedestrians could pass easily and
pleasantly. For on those streets
where the trade of our town is priu-
cipally carried on it is essential that
ladies and others should have at all
times the means OF passing with
facility from store to store in search
of goods they may need, and without
damage to clothes or temper. Now,
only just look at the condition of
our sidewalks after a shower of rain,
and then all wonder will cease that,
as a rule. so few ladies will be found
promenading the streets, either for
business or pleasure, until continued
hne weather assures them that they
can do SO without running the rick
OF being despatched with mud or
slipping down.
